A Nearly Forgotten Rock Band Resurrects: Death Cult at the Gramercy / October 12, 2025
The Cult is a partnership that has weathered 40 years, and given their unwavering performance in Adelaide last night (28 November) there is no sign of them slowing down any time soon.
The Cult returned to Auckland, eight years to the day after their previous show at The Powerstation putting on a show that was, in Ian Asbury’s words, “way better than last time”.
I remember frantically calling all my local record shops back in 1984 to locate The Cult's debut album 'Dreamtime' on 500 limited edition picture disc. I had to widen the search and at HMV Oxford Street I finally secured it. It was well worth it, an emancipation album that freed my mind.
